Happy St. Catherine's Feast Day from Alaska! Fr. Mike is in Washington, D.C. doing deeply Dominican things in Dominican ways: such as making a presentation about our work at the Dominican House of Studies this evening. While I am doing quirky Alaskan things. Yesterday, my sister and I drove up to Talkeetna, one of the older mining towns about 170 miles north to see Mt. McKinley. I had espresso in Wasilla (yes, that Wasilla) and I have the picture to prove it. I saw magnificent mountains and moose and heard many stories. It all kept reminding me of a show that was filmed in the Seattle (in Roslyn) area in the 80's: Northern Exposure: Talkeetna is the real Cicely, Alaska.
